KISS ME GOODBYE (Original)

In this stark photorealist composition, Simon Taylor isolates a discarded cigarette butt against a blurred ground, rendering every fibre, ash fragment and crease with forensic precision. The shallow depth of field and elongated format heighten the sense of quiet finality, turning a fleeting gesture into a lasting image.

What is habitually crushed and forgotten becomes a symbol of intimacy, addiction and departure. Through meticulous control of light and surface, Taylor transforms an everyday remnant into a poignant meditation on endings and what we choose to leave behind.
